My GOD this was bad... I expected it to be bad but not THIS bad!!! I literally laughed TWICE through the WHOLE movie. The look alike actors are interesting for the first 10 seconds when you go "Oh yeah he DOES look and sound like so and so". And then its all downhill from there. The story is utterly pointless. The cheap humor is thrown at you like a spray of painful bullets. I usually respect other people's opinions about movies. Different strokes for different folks, but with this movie? You have to have a slightly, no scratch that... HIGHLY underdeveloped brain to enjoy this flick. Thank the lord I didn't pay to watch this. Free off Redbox and STILL not worth it. It would have been the WORST way I could have EVER spent a dollar. I wish I could have turned it off, but once I start a movie, I hate stopping. I want my hour and twenty minutes of my life back, or the memory of this movie erased from my mind.

I was really excited about this movie. When I saw the trailer for this movie, I felt like it couldn't be out on DVD soon enough. As soon as this was out on Redbox I rented it. Lucky for me I had a promo code and got this movie for free. You can just see how low the budget on this movie would have been.

It had it funny moments which were REALLY funny, but they were few and far apart. When you snag actors like Steve Buscemi, Romany Malco, Sarah Silverman and Peter Dinklage, you ensure they have a script to match their caliber. This script was mediocre and the story had no drive or punch. I expected a bit more off the ending, but to me it was an anticlimax.

My suggestion is to rent this movie if you really like the leads. Steve Buscemi and Romany Malco have done a great job acting. If you are expecting a classy suave movie set in Las Vegas, look elsewhere.

Went to a screening of this film today, and I had decided not to watch the trailer, or read anything about the movie before. Looking at the poster, I was expecting a Christmas-y comedy or something like that. I was totally wrong (and don't get me wrong this is definitely not a bad thing for the movie!) Just don't expect a laugh out loud comedy. It did have it's funny moments though, and those were great. The movie made me feel really really bad for the De Niro character, and through the whole thing just made me want to go give him a big hug LOL. De Niro's performance was great and made you feel what that character was feeling at that time. The other performances were also fairly good. All in all, a good movie as long as you are not expecting a straight out comedy! I would definitely recommend seeing this one when it comes out in theaters.
